Once Upon A Time

Dance into my life, only for a while
Whirl me round and round
Dance me like an angel child
He's passing through my world
He doesn't even know
Time's not on my side
No word or goodbye, i'll go

So dance on, right now i want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And i'll be going home
(i'll be going home)
Just dance on, right now
I want to dance on
I can't let him notice the tears in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes

Dance into my life
Hold the moment fast
Make believe in us
Nothing real in life can last dance within my life
Dance me to the door
I can't see the time, but the time has come for sure

So dance on, right now i want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And i'll be going home
(i'll be going home)
Just dance on, right now
I want to dance on
I can't let him notice the tears in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes

Dance with me, dance with me
Won't you dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me
Won't you dance with me

So dance on, right now
I want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And i'll be going home
(i'll be going home)
So dance on, right now
I want to dance on
Until the moment's over
And i'll be going home

Spoken:
Where am i going? what is the place?
Somebody help me outta here.

Oh i'm walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere
Oh i'm running slower, slower and slower to somewhere
'cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me
It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare
No matter which way-mare

Spoken:
Seems that there must be some way to get out.
But i just can't find it.

People pushing, hustling, rushing on into the future
Windows open, closing, in a way that they just never used to
Oh there's violence lurking in the alleys
Where no one should dare go
So keep walking faster, faster and faster to nowhere

Spoken:
I gotta get out, somebody...that guy came at me with a gun
The city closing in

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little

Children crying, screaming, but no one lets on that they hear them
It's getting louder, louder, surely that someone must hear them
'cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me
It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare
No matter which way-mare

Spoken:
Help me, i wanna get out.
Cut it out! stop closing in on me help!!!

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little
Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
We're gonna take a little

Well he searched and searched for nights and days
Till he found the one he loved
And he wrapped her in his arms again
And then he thanked the stars above
That he found what he'd been looking for
And he stared her in the eyes

He said "i love you"
He said "i love you"
Love you, love you

She stared him right back in the eyes
With a look of disbelief
Then she gazed off into somewhere else
Was it real or just a dream?
And she pulled him, oh so close to her
And she whispered in his ear

She said "i love you"
She said "i love you too"
Love you, love you, love you

So together they will always be
Until the stars fall from the sky

They said "i love you"
Yes, i really do
They said "i love you"
Yes, i do
I do, i do, i do, i do

So together they will always be
Until the stars fall from the sky
So if you find someone you love a lot
You must never let them go
You just hold them tight with all your might
And you say three little words

You say "i love you"
You say "i love you"
You say "i love you"
You say "i love you"

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it

Rumour has it all around the town
Someone's looking for a girl like me
Where can she be found
I hope it's who i think it is
I wonder if it's really him
It's got to be the man i love
No one else but him

Rumour has it

They say he's gonna make this girl his everything
He's gonna love her and surround her
With all those beautiful things
It was the most wonderful moment in my life i had
My life ended on that evening
I lost him, lord it hurt so bad

Rumour has it

You never know just what you've wont until you've lost
And the object of the game is not to pay the cost
Anyone can play the game, there are no rules
And you never know just what you've won until you lose

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it, rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Such a rumour

I know he's gonna find me
I know this was meant to be
Well you can change a lot of things in your life
But not your destiny
And when you find the best thing in life has come to you
Hold it in your hand real tight or it may slip through

There's a rumour, there's a rumour

You never know just what you've won until you've lost
And the object of the game is not to pay the cost
Anyone can play the game, there are no rules
And you never know just what you've won until you lose
And you never know just what you've won until you lose

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour
Rumour has it, rumour has it
There's a rumour, there's a rumour

Happily ever after
Look at me, right where i wanna be
My life took a turn, it's a happy affair
I'm never alone even when he's not there
Happily ever after, happily ever after

Happily ever after
So carefree, look what's come over me
All my prayers have been answered, he heard my cry
Took all my troubles and threw them aside
Threw them aside
Happily ever after, happily ever after

Once in a lifetime!

I never thought i could be
So carefree, so carefree
Happily ever after

Happily ever after
Him and me, sunshine and laughter
We're never alone, when there's nobody there
We're never alone, we got love to share
Lots of love, happily ever after
Lost of love, happily ever after
We've got love, happily ever after

Lots of love, happily ever after
Just look at me, right where i wanna be

Happily ever after

Say that you like me the way i am
Just take some time out to understand
It may not be much, but i do all i can
Say something nice

I'd never do it to one of you
I'd say something nice if it wasn't true
I'd make you feel better when you're feeling blue
I'd say something nice

Say something nice, only once or twice
Say something nice, only once or twice
Say something nice

I wanna hear that i'm beautiful
But you wouldn't say it even if i were
Wearing my diamonds and a coat of fur
You wouldn't say nothin' nice

Tell me you think that my hair's real nice
Don't stand around and just criticize
Can't you understand that when a person tries
You say something nice

And it's oh so hard, oh so hard
To listen to the words that you say
Oh, say something nice, just once or twice
It wouldn't hurt, don't you see

I wanna hear something nice, say something nice
Say something nice, just once or twice
It don't hurt you at all, say something nice

Say something nice baby, only once or twice
Say something nice
Say something nice baby, only once or twice
Say something nice

Hey don't you hear me, hey don't you hear me
Hey don't you hear me, hey don't you hear me

Say something nice

Say something nice

And it's oh so hard, and it's oh so hard
And i'm dying to hear what i've never heard (fade out)

You'll never compete with the others!
Why, look at the way you're dressed!
Come on now, get yourself together!

You have got to flaunt it now

Spoken:
Anyways, i'll teach you a trick or two

(voice monologue over "once upon a time" instrumental)

Once upon a time, there was a girl
She lived in the land of never-never
Where everything real is unreal
And only fairy tales come true
Something like me and you

But she believed that what she dreamed of could be real
So she strived on to make it come true
Fighting odds, not knowing what would come of her
Never giving up the hope within her

She carried on and on, because she believed
That once, once in a time in her lifetime
The things so unreal would be real

And in the morning, one day when she awoke
To find herself surrounded by the same old room
She was disappointed

So she dreamed and she dreamed
And she dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed
And she said that fairy tales do come true
'cause i believe, i believe

And she kept trying, and she kept right on fighting
Till one day she met a man who held her tight
And she fell in love

Once upon a time, in the land of never-never
Where all things real are unreal
There lived a girl who believed
That all things could be possible

And one day she did awake
And found herself somewhere else
Beside her a brand new face
Of someone that she loved
